Operational Excellence

ITC’s operational excellence continues as it recorded a .5 incident rate in 2017 compared to the EEI average of 1.5. The lost work day rate at .15 was also considerably lower than the EEI average of .45.

ITC Great Plains Partners & Recognition

ITC’s role as the owner and operator of the high voltage transmission system in parts of Kansas and Oklahoma requires ongoing communication with a variety of stakeholders – from municipal leaders to residents – about the importance of investing in and securing the nation’s transmission assets. Siting, construction and maintenance of transmission projects can be sensitive and controversial; ITC works one-on-one with local communities, assessing the nature of the issues that must be addressed to achieve successful proposals and win-win solutions.

In areas ITC Great Plains serves, ITC also supports local communities with charitable donations and recreational access to its transmission corridors. Our commitment to the communities we serve is the cornerstone of our business and our mission to be a best-in-class transmission provider.

Projects and Initiatives

In developing system expansion, ITC's goals include maintaining safety, improving reliability, relieving congestion and reducing system losses. Since the company's inception in 2003, ITC has invested nearly $3.2 billion in system upgrades and maintenance.

Community Approach

ITC works one-on-one with local communities, landowners and stakeholders to assess the nature of the issues that must be addressed to appropriately plan, site, construct and then maintain a highly efficient transmission grid.

Kansas Municipal Utilities

ITC Great Plains works with partners throughout Kansas to increase the efficiency and reliability of the state’s transmission grid. We do this by investing in transmission infrastructure that improves reliability and reduces system congestion, and thus lowers the overall
cost of delivered energy.

We know that the agriculture, oil and wind industries are vital to the growth of Kansas, and a robust high voltage electrical grid is integral to this success. We also understand that Kansas needs a robust low voltage transmission grid that can ensure reliable delivery of energy to the municipal utilities in Kansas.
